Benoni notes on furniture reupholstery
Northmead, Rynfield and Farrarmere have family homes built over several decades, often with lounge suites, imbuia dining sets and armchairs worth recovering. Homes on the lakes in Lakefield and around the lake clubs ask for lighter fabrics with good colour fastness for sunny rooms. In Daveyton and Etwatwa, home workshops recover couches and headboards, and families often recover before weddings or year-end gatherings.
Benoni: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Benoni is known as the city of lakes, and the water shapes some of its upholstery work: ski boats and fishing boats kept in garages in Lakefield and Farrarmere need seats and cushions redone in marine vinyl, and patio and stoep cushions face the sun beside the water. Away from the lakes, Northmead and Rynfield have older family homes with solid lounge suites, the Putfontein smallholdings bring horse and farm bakkies, and Daveyton and Etwatwa have home workshops recovering couches. Upholsterers and foam suppliers work from Benoni's industrial areas around Apex and Benoni South. Damp boat cushions grow mould, so ask for open-cell quick-dry foam and drain holes when you request a quote.
Typical furniture restoration requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: a family heirloom chair, an imbuia dining set or a riempie bench restored and recovered
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: antique dealers and auction houses having pieces restored before they go to sale
- Boats, caravans and 4x4s: teak deck chairs, a yacht's saloon furniture or a lodge's old campaign chairs restored
